I got the 2.1 cdrom today, and used the atapi floppy option it to create = a floppy. Voila, the installation worked with the cdrom. However, = after installation was complete, whatever magic it did (creating a wcd0 = device) were gone, and they weren't in the kernel when it rebooted. Is = there a way to copy that information to the running kernel? The install = always works with that boot floppy, but I can never get it to the system = after it reboots after install. If I remember, the existing kernel uses = wdc0 and wdc1 or something, and the boot floppy has a wcd0 or wcd1. = Basically, I just want to move that working cdrom into the kernel there. = Would I be better off just doing my own kernel now? I wouldn't mind = doing that, except I can't really tell what the atapi floppy is doing to = get the cd to work, and I haven't figured out how to mount the floppy = drive or do whatever I need to do to view the contents. Maybe you can = suggest the easiest, quickest way to do what I want. Also, this installation was different than the others in that there is = no /usr/src/sys directory. Which "package" do I install for that = source? Chad
